Hi! I’m Ellie,

wife to Mr H, mum to Emma and Teddy, and the voice behind The Muscat Diaries.

Back in 2019, we packed up life in the UK and landed in Oman, armed with a toddler, a ten suitcases, and zero idea what to expect. What started as a two-year plan has turned into a full-blown love affair with life in the desert (well… most days).

​

This blog began as a way to keep family and friends in the loop, but over time it’s grown into a space for honest stories about expat life, motherhood, travel, fitness wins (and fails), friendship, and figuring it all out along the way.

​

I'm also the founder of Just Thrive Marketing, a digital marketing business I built from my kitchen table somewhere between snack requests and school runs. When I’m not writing blogs or building brands, you’ll find me testing my limits Hyrox training, pretending to enjoy running, bingeing a boxset, or hunting down the best brunch spot in Muscat.

​

Expect stories with heart, humour, and the occasional chaos. If you’re looking for perfectly curated feeds or Pinterest-worthy parenting... you might be in the wrong place. But if you love real talk, good food, and a sunny perspective on life abroad......pull up a chair.
